Would you ever do something crazy to raise money for charity? Like run a marathon? How about running two marathons straight? That’s what Marlins President David Samson is doing next Friday to raise money for 10 featured charities and to honor the workers who helped build Marlins Park.

Day 8 of the countdown, with just TWO days until Friday’s run, today’s featured cause is the Stand Up To Cancer, a new initiative created to accelerate groundbreaking cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives..

David will run miles 5-10 of the 52.5 mile run in honor of this charity and will be joined for this stretch by Dave McGillivray, Race Director of the Boston Marathon since 1988. Dave successfully ran across the USA in 1978 and has raised millions of dollars for charity through his athletic achievements.

It is in the very same spirit of proving the unlikely can be done, that David running a double marathon. Show your support for those who believe obstacles can be overcome given commitment!
